Celebrities took to their gardens to top up their tans as temperatures soared over the weekend and Britain basked in the hottest day of the year so far.

Ulrika Jonsson and former Real Housewives of Cheshire star Christine McGuinness stripped down to their bikinis to soak up the sun and show off their enviable figures.

Bank Holiday Monday was the hottest day of 2021 so far as the mercury hit 24 degrees while people flocked to the coast to make the most of the warm weather.

Lucy Mecklenburgh

The 29 year old looked sensational as she posed in the mirror with a black bandeau bikini on her Instagram, captioned: “Finally we can sunbathe.”

Mum of one Lucy, who shares one year old son Roman with former Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas, made the most of her gorgeous garden by setting out a ball pit for her little one before tucking into a mouth-watering BBQ.

Christine McGuinness

Mum of three Christine attempted to make the most of the sunshine as she stretched out on a blanket at her sprawling garden in Cheshire.

However, her three children had other ideas as they splashed around with water guns on the grass.

The former Real Housewives of Cheshire star, 33, looked every inch the natural beauty with her blonde locks in loose waves as she posed next to husband Paddy McGuinness.

Christine wore a crisp white crop top which she paired with light-wash denim shorts as she made the most of the sunshine.

Ulrika Jonsson

The 53 year old former model wowed in a tiny pink and orange-printed bikini as she relaxed on her lawn and showcased her sun-kissed limbs.

Ulrika appeared not to have a restful night sleep with the soaring temperatures as she shared a snap to her Instagram and described how she had been awake since 3am.

Posing with her English bulldog on her bed, she penned: “It’s a sunny day and I’ve been awake since, oh, about 3am.

“So can’t wait to grab life by the balls and fall asleep standing up.”

Georgia Toffolo

The former Made in Chelsea star, 26, looked beautiful as she posed in a black gingham bikini with an adorable pup at a cafe.

Georgia went fresh-faced for the outing and pinned her blonde locks off her face with a cotton shirt draped over her arms.

It appears Georgia is filming abroad for her partnership with clothing brand Shein but is likely to have plenty of sunshine as the heatwave is set to continue upon her return to London.

Ferne McCann

Mum of one Ferne looked gorgeous in green leaf-patterned top which she paired with black denim shorts.

Ferne, 30, who went Instagram official with her boyfriend Jack Padgett in February, took to her Instagram story to reveal how she wanted to be on a beach “so bad” after seeing all of her friends enjoying holiday aboard.

Taking to her Instagram, she said: “As much as I appreciate this weather, all of my friends that are away, with their stories abroad, just make me want to be on a beach so bad and like literally yesterday, all I could think about was booking a holiday like when can I go, where can I go, is it going to be possible? Got to make it happen.

“I just need to YOLO [you only live once].”
